Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Eggshell color varies by the breed of layer.  Here's a handy chart.

I bought some "Nice" eggs on sale at Walgreens and they were sort of dessicated, crack the shell and they were really slow to come out.  Weird.  We cooked them and they tasted ok, but I'm not so keen on going back to get eggs there.  Better to go w/vegetarian free range eggs.

I really, really shouldn't ask.

But why are brown eggs chunky?

They aren't.  They are no different than any other eggs.  If your eggs are chunky I suspect they were frozen or something.  That sounds like a degradation in the protein chains, the albumen.  Egg contents should be smooth and viscous, never "chunky."

I thought Chunky had nuts, not eggs.
